*I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
3.5/5
Enter the world of the Silver Court. A advanced society living on the moon where the empire is passed down from empress to empress. Only through a traditional coming-of-age ceremony can the next empress be crowned and gifted the family sword. But Kaguya - the current princess - no matter how many times she is yelled at to become train, study harder and be ready, just isn’t interested in the responsibility of empress yet. That is, until it’s too late.
Blade of the Moon Princess vol 1 hits you so fast with so much. It is information upon action upon world-building upon character explanations. There is so much going on right from the get-go. It’s a little intimidating and hard to read. I do see the potential for an amazing story though.
The art is pretty straight forward and I really like the design of Kaguya. There is dialogue all the time. Every single frame. This is definitely an action book with a lot of character. I would totally watch it if it was adapted into an anime for sure.
If I have the opportunity to read Vol 2 I would not be opposed. I’m interested to see how this story will unfold.

A very immature and conflicted princess who constantly goes from being impulsive to having moments of clarity that last one page before returning to impulsive decisions. Found it hard to keep up with events because of this. Will not be continuing this series.

Not sure what I was expecting, but this definitely wasn't it, lol.

Der Zeichenstil des Mangaka gefiel mir bei "Spy x Family" bereits sehr gut. Von der Geschichte her ist's leider nicht so ganz meins. Da nervt die weibliche Hauptfigur etwas zu sehr.

I didn’t realize this was before Spy x Family and now it all makes sense. Main character was like Yor 1.0. The art was nice but I found the whole thing just far too chatty with everything explained versus shown. I see the improvement though.

I am absolutely thrilled with volume 1 of Blade Of The Moon Princess: gorgeous artwork, exciting, captivating story. I've become enthralled with the character of Princess Kaguya. She's bold, brash, a bit crude, defiant, and fierce. Exiled from her home on the Moon, she's working hard to fight her way back to save her mother and reclaim the throne. A very good manga.
